It's a shame the young people today don't have these good memories we have. All the games we played are obsolete now. Has anyone seen a child playing jacks lately? How about hopscotch? Jump rope is practically non-existent. No wonder the kids have a weight problem what with the fast food and lack of exercise we had.

One day my brother, and I took my 23 foot boat out a few miles in the gulf, and was having a real good time fishing. We were reeling in the fish, and letting them go. Well, this one Pelican set right behind our boat, and would catch most the fish we would through back, before they could get away. The sun was about ready to go down, so we headed for home. When I looked back to see if the Pelican was following us, there he was trying to get himself up and into the air, but I guess he ate so many fish that he couldn't get up. I don't know if he made it or not, but I'm told that if they stay in the water too long they will drown. Diesel

I still love the smell of it. We used to follow the ice truck too and would usually get a chip to suck on.

On November 3, 1868 172 women(including 4 "colored" women) voted in Vineland, NJ It is hard to imagine that one of the arguments against giving women the right to vote was that it would injure them or cause them great distress. It would upset the orderliness of society and there would be dire consequences. For the majority of the population giving women the right to vote was not even a consideration. But to some progressive people, it was, absolutely, the right thing to do and the right time to do it. Some of those people lived in Vineland, New Jersey. ------------------------------------------------------- Why was Vineland, so different? Because Vineland was a newly formed community, many progressive people saw it as an opportunity to live in a place where they could help form the community norms. People moved to Vineland from all over the country. Many moving from the West, back East. The women deciding to vote was a part of a long series of events.
